1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Selection of the ideal surgical procedure for coronary revascularization in patients with severe cardiac dysfunction at times may represent a challenge. In recent years, with the advent of surgical large microaxial pumps, e.g., Impella 5.0 (Abiomed Inc., Boston, USA), specific support and effective unloading of the left ventricle has become available. In the interventional field, good results have been achieved with smaller microaxial pumps in the setting of so-called protected percutaneous coronary intervention. In this study, we would like to share our early experience with surgical coronary revascularization under the sole support of Impella 5.0, omitting the use of heart-lung machine in three cases of severe cardiac dysfunction due to complex ischemic heart disease. Effective circulatory support intraoperatively and postoperatively speaks in favor of this technique in selected patients.
